I tend to agree with you when you say that Iran is unlikely to act in an extremist manner in this nuclear crisis is its decision to agree to have its nuclear enrichment for peaceful purposes carried out in Russia, if that is to be the final result. And yes, in this case, as in most others, I have to say that diplomacy is more or less the only option.

That said I have to add that my trust in the Iranian leadership is at best frugal considering the statements of the Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad the last few months and given the fact that Iran have admitted to acquiring blue prints of nuclear warheads from the infamous Pakistani nuclear scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, a while back.
